In a pith-ball electroscope, a ball made of pith, which is a light-weight electrical insulator, is suspended from a hook via a silk thread. When the electroscope is placed in the vicinity of a negatively charged object on the right, the ball moves towards the object. What is the direction of the electric field?
It should be to the right... because then the force on the negatively charged object would be pointing left... am i right?
